Dang, doesn't seem to be workingcomment:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.127042-4921841Sun, 14 Apr 2013 13:15:02 -0800roomthreeseventeenBy: uosuaqhttp://www.metafilter.com/127042/Spirit-Voices-Music-is-the-Healing-Force#4921862
It took about 30 seconds for it to start for me (luckily I left it open in one window while I was trying other browsers, and suddenly it was playing).comment:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.127042-4921862Sun, 14 Apr 2013 13:34:37 -0800uosuaqBy: nerolihttp://www.metafilter.com/127042/Spirit-Voices-Music-is-the-Healing-Force#4921865
Yup, working fine for me. I'm a half hour in, and seem to have spontaneously grown a dashiki and a lot of clunky silver jewelry.
This is great stuff -- thanks!comment:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.127042-4921865Sun, 14 Apr 2013 13:42:02 -0800neroliBy: youandiandaflamehttp://www.metafilter.com/127042/Spirit-Voices-Music-is-the-Healing-Force#4921886
Oh, awesome! Spiritual jazz isn't usually isn't in my wheelhouse but I'd trust Aquarium Drunkard with my firstborn so I'm gonna be listening to this today.comment:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.127042-4921886Sun, 14 Apr 2013 13:55:46 -0800youandiandaflameBy: fishmastahttp://www.metafilter.com/127042/Spirit-Voices-Music-is-the-Healing-Force#4921895
It started playing for me after I disabled Adblock and Flashblock, but after about four seconds it tells me an error occurred. Tried it in another browser and it counts up to 4 or 5 seconds with no audio but then the count goes back to zero. It's a shame cause this is right up my alley. Hopefully it's just getting hammered with MeFi plays and will work better later.comment:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.127042-4921895Sun, 14 Apr 2013 14:00:25 -0800fishmastaBy: fishmastahttp://www.metafilter.com/127042/Spirit-Voices-Music-is-the-Healing-Force#4921898

The player is acting up for me, and there's no download button that it seems should have appeared once I shared it on Google Plus, so I don't feel too bad about trawling through the page source and getting the <a href="http://ia701509.us.archive.org/35/items/BlackClassicalSpiritualJazz19552012/Black_Classical_History_Of_Spiritual_Jazz_1955_2012Space_Invader_Radio_Broadcast_12022012.mp3">download link</a>.comment:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.127042-4921994Sun, 14 Apr 2013 15:14:39 -0800alphagatorBy: LeLiLohttp://www.metafilter.com/127042/Spirit-Voices-Music-is-the-Healing-Force#4922082
It started right up for me – and I listened to the first hour or so before posting – but the direct download link at Aquarium Drunkard doesn't seem to do anything.comment:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.127042-4922082Sun, 14 Apr 2013 16:12:43 -0800LeLiLoBy: NordyneDefenceDynamicshttp://www.metafilter.com/127042/Spirit-Voices-Music-is-the-Healing-Force#4922112
Seems like the archive.org CDN is a bit flaky. I've <a href="https://soundcloud.com/nordynedefencedynamics/black-classical-history">mirrored</a> it, just waiting for the transcode to finish.comment:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.127042-4922112Sun, 14 Apr 2013 16:36:45 -0800NordyneDefenceDynamicsBy: chronkitehttp://www.metafilter.com/127042/Spirit-Voices-Music-is-the-Healing-Force#4922253

I'm surprised there are so many songs. I would have expected 12 hours of spiritual jazz to be 10-15 songs.comment:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.127042-4922616Mon, 15 Apr 2013 05:06:20 -0800OmieWiseBy: waxbankshttp://www.metafilter.com/127042/Spirit-Voices-Music-is-the-Healing-Force#4923051
oh man, i downloaded that stanley crouch album a while back, and haven't yet listened -- the the idea of hearing 9 hours of music just to GET to the crouch track is perversely appealing. i'll go this route!
the ideal companion to this (fantastic-sounding) collection, it seems to me, would be a psych-jazz-funk mix of equal length: 70s miles, mwandishi, mclaughlin, julian priester, gary bartz, roy ayers, horacee arnold...comment:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.127042-4923051Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:16:30 -0800waxbanksBy: Slack-a-gogohttp://www.metafilter.com/127042/Spirit-Voices-Music-is-the-Healing-Force#4923242
Only 90 minutes in and this absolutely fabulous. I don't know what I was expecting, but I did not imagine it would be this cool. "Spiritual Jazz" scared me off a bit, but "Aquarium Drunkard" made me take the chance. Thanks!comment:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.127042-4923242Mon, 15 Apr 2013 12:03:18 -0800Slack-a-gogo
